RFI problems can be caused by two situations: An improperly operating device that emits RFI, or an improperly operating device that is susceptible to RF (like, perhaps a shielded wire with a broken ground connection on the aircraft).

<If I remember correctly, the article said that after the flight when the pilots notifed whomever is responsible for such stuff, they tried to track down the passanger with the problem laptop but were not able to find him, nor replicate the problem with other laptops.> It was almost certainly not the Toshiba laptop causing the problem [if there was one and this wasn't some scam to ensure demands for use of cellphones and other electronics on aircraft didn't get out of hand]. A single anecdote is not science and without some mechanism, measurement or objective determination that the Toshiba or other electronic devices are actually a problem, people should be able to use their approved gadgets. The WSJ wouldn't get things right anyway [they figured CDMA was a patter from Jacobs, not the cradle for the 21st century]. The problem was far more likely to be some undetected person testing the battery-powered mini vacuum cleaner they were taking to their beloved [Globalstar phones not being available then]. bts.gov Airlines are going to have to dust off this link and give passengers as much leeway as possible in using gadgets. Globalstar must be an easy one to approve. Meanwhile, just so we can do a bit of market research here, would you prefer to get the mini vacuum cleaner, [great for dandruff on shoulders of unkempt but otherwise romantic husbands], or the Guy-Sized Globalstar phone? To avoid confounding variables, let's assume neither comes fully-equipped with flowers or Belgian chocolates. I heard by PM that a Charleston female isn't enamoured by the vacuum cleaner romance model. I bet Guy-Sized Communication Power beats Mini, [or Large], Cleaning Power! Mqurice PS: Jon - you might have to upgrade from vacuum cleaners to Globalstar phones - defer buying of Xmas presents for aunts, mother's, grandmothers, friends, wives, special friends etc until the research is in]. I imagine Gay Guy-Sized Globalstar Gift [GGGG - hey, cool, a double GG] phones would be a BIG seller too. I hope GlobalstarUSA is onto this Xmas marketing opportunity.
